Chris POV I didn’t want to leave her. I really didn’t. I think that was the best time that I have had in a really long time. It feels so good to have my friendship back. She looked like she was glowing because she was so happy. Preston is right, though. I really need to get a hold of this situation with Rachael. I hated lying to Rae. Well, I wasn’t really lying. She isn’t my girlfriend. I just left out the fact that she is pregnant. I have been thinking about this the last two weeks. Is the baby even mine? It could be. I did slip up that one time, right before we came back, so I can’t just ignore the fact that I might have an illegitimate heir. How am I supposed to tell Rae, though? I will. I need to. At least that is what I keep telling myself. I walk silently beside Preston. He doesn’t say a thing. I can’t tell if he is mad at me, or not. I swear I used protection with his sister. If it is indeed mine, it is purely by accident. I’m not truly ready to be a father. I still haven’t f

Rae’s POVThese last few months have blown by pretty quick. Things with Chris seem to be back to normal, if not more, than before he left. I look forward to waking up every day now. I get finished with my chores around the same time that he is finished with his daily tasks, or so he says. I couldn’t be happier. So, why do I feel hollow sometimes?Toby and I still communicate. While it makes me smile that he thinks of me, it makes me sad that I can’t see his gorgeous face. Erin and I have gotten closer as well. I can tell that she still has a thing for Chris but she does her best to hide it. Emma, however, seems to have grown away from me. That breaks my heart. She even has herself new friends. Where did my friendship go wrong with her? It’s not like I took Toby away from her or anything.Erin tells me not to worry about it. Mama says that sometimes friends just grow apart. It doesn’t ease the pain, though. I’m currently watching her laugh with her new friends. She glances over at me a

Toby’s POV“Knock, knock. I have another letter for you.” Ryan says as he busts through my room.“Oh, who from this time?” I ask, feigning lack of interest.Of course he doesn’t buy it, and just laughs. “Oh, I don’t know. Maybe I should read it myself. It looks a little fancy. Like maybe it’s from a girl.” He smirks. “Oh, yes. It’s definitely from a girl. I’ll tell you if I see something interesting.”I jump up to grab the letter and he takes off laughing. Mason walks in on us and laughs at us, telling us that we look like a couple of girls before he takes off to check his own mail. I finally get my hands on the letter and Ryan just laughs.“Wow. If I didn’t know any better, I would say that you have found your mate.” I freeze but I don’t respond. He must’ve caught on. “Oh, she is your mate!” He fist bumps my shoulder. “Why didn’t you say anything? All those nights at the club, not wanting to dance with the girls. It all makes sense now.” He plops down on the bed beside me. “So, why d

Rae’s POVIt’s my birthday, tomorrow. I turn the big eighteen! I’m so excited. I don’t know what everyone has planned. It’s all hush, hush. Chris and I plan on meeting at our spot, though. He wants to sit under the stars tonight, until my birthday. It’s so romantic.Our relationship has been really good. He is everything that I ever hoped that he would be. Erin is irritatingly mad at me. She keeps acting as though I am cheating on her brother. I keep telling her that her brother and I aren’t dating. I don’t understand why she’s so frustrated.At first, I thought that it was because she is in love with Chris. She assures me that, that, isn’t the issue. So, I can’t figure it out. Chris tells me not to let it bother me. I try not to but I’ve already lost Em. I don’t want to lose another.I jump as I feel a set of arms wrap around my waist. “Hey, baby, what are you thinking about?”I lean back into his arms. “Nothing important, babe.” I twist around, in his arms, so I can see his face. I

Rae’s POV Katy and I make it back to our house in time for dinner. The house smells heavenly as I step through the door. It seems that Mama wanted to make my favorite meal; chicken alfredo with broccoli florets. I nearly forget about Katy as I, all but, drag her in through the house. “Look who I brought with me, Mama!” I sing out. Mama comes running out of the kitchen! “Oh! Katy! I’m so glad that you’re here! Talon will be home soon!” She says, as she rushes in. Mama grabs a hold of my face and peppers me with kisses. I giggle as I push her away gently. “Happy eighteenth, darling. Well, early anyway. I know it’s not until tomorrow but I won’t be here.” “Thanks, Mom!” Talon rushes in through the door and grabs Katy around the waist, lifting her off her feet. “Oh, I have missed you so much!” After kissing her with so much fervor, that I had to turn away, he puts her down and wraps me up in a hug. “Happy Birthday, little sister!” He looks at Mama. “Early. I’m leaving with Mama in the

Rae’s POV I can’t seem to keep the happy smile off of my face. I turn 18 in less than an hour. I carefully make my way to mine and Chris’ spot. I wonder if he made it before me. I spent more time at home that I suspected. I can’t wait to see what crazy idea, of food, that he decided to bring this time. I wonder if I am even going to be able to eat it at all. I stop for a second as I feel weird for a moment. A slight dizziness has me leaning against a tree. I take a few deep breaths before I slowly release it. What was that? I shake my head and continue to my walk, a little slower than I was. If I’m getting sick, maybe we shouldn’t stay out here all night. I hear commotion, a short distance from the lake, and come to a stop. Something doesn’t feel right. I hide behind a tree to take in my surroundings. I don’t know why I have a sudden fear. My whole body begins to shake, with nerves, and I look through the trees. What I see has me thinking that I should just turn around. Sir Alrich

Toby’s POVI didn’t see the fist that came at my face in time. The jolt to my jaw caused me to lose my balance. It hurt, and surprised me, but not as much as the feeling that I just felt. Fear. I felt a fear so strong that it nearly knocked the wind out of me. Since it wasn’t coming from me, it could only be coming from one other person: Rae.I look towards the moon. It is now past midnight so her connection to me will be stronger. What has her so scared that I can still sense it miles away. Forgetting that I am sparring with my friend, Ryan, I bolt up and rush to the barracks. I need to call home.I could mind link from where I am but I don’t want to accidentally peek into private matters. I feel jittery as I locate the phone and I call my parents. After the third ring, I’m starting to get really nervous. I hang up and try again. It takes three tries before someone finally picks up and, I am so on edge, I collapse into the chair when I hear my mother’s voice.“Hello?” She whispers.“
Erondale Chapter 57
Chris’s POVI can’t believe it. All this time I thought that it would be someone other than Raleigh. She’s looking at me like I have lost my mind but I can’t be happier. Then I remember what I have done to her. All the heart ache that I have caused her and I hate myself. Then I realize that she is Selene’s daughter.I tilt my head to the side. Now that I look, she does have similar appearances to her. Does she know that she is a goddess’ grand-daughter? Is it her mother or her father that is descended from Selene. Did my father know? Of course, he must have suspected but he always pushed me towards my Queen. Maybe he didn’t really know.“Your highness, we have to talk to her mother.” Reginald says, pulling me out of my thoughts.Rae looks over towards him, noticing that we are now surrounded by my guards as well as Reggie and Preston. “Speak to my mother about what?” She asks, meekly.“We need to speak to your mother, Your Grace.” He tells her.Her face blushes. “I don’t understand wh
